            5.   The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 6.7.2
                 a) (i) and (iv), c), d), r), s), y), cc), gg), rr) and ss) and Specific Outcomes
                 O1, O3, O7, O8, O9, O10, O15, O18, O19, O20, O25, O27, O81, O82 and
                 O88 of Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code as:
                 i.      It results in high density residential development outside of the Urban
                         Growth Boundary which is not consistent with the Priority
                         Infrastructure Plan.
                 ii.     It utilises Rural zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing which
                         is an inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be
                         maintained for its rural character and use for agricultural.
                 iii.    It utilises Open Space Recreation zoned land for the purpose of
                         Multiple Housing which is an inconsistent use in the zone with the
                         land intended to be used for recreational purposes.
                 iv.     It utilises rural land intended to be protected and managed to
                         preserve the scenic and environmental values of the area.
                 v.      It does not preserve agricultural land, conserve open space for
                         biodiversity and water quality purposes or provide development at a
                         density consistent with the sites environmental constraints and
                         proximity to the Lake Macdonald water supply catchment.
                 vi.     The development does not minimise cut and fill and is excessive.
                 vii.    The development results in adverse impacts on the sites
                         environmental values.
                 viii.   The development has the potential to impact on water quality of Lake
                         Macdonald.
                 ix.     The proposal will result in a detrimental impact on the scenic vista
                         from the major road network and the entry into Cooroy township.
                 x.      The proposed built form does not complement traditional streetscape
                         and building forms.
                 xi.     The height of club house will dominate surrounding spaces and the
                         existing skyline.
                 xii.    Parts of the development are located too close to Myall Street and
                         are not consistent with the streetscape.
                 xiii.   The excessive site cover results in excessive bulk and development
                         which is not compatible with surrounding development.
                 xiv.    The development has the potential to impact on the acoustic amenity
                         of the surrounding area, as no acoustic measures are proposed to be
                         implemented for the new golf club house.
            6.   The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcomes
                 14.44.2 a), b) and j) and Specific Outcomes O16 and O17 of the Residential
                 Uses Code as:
                 i.      It is proposed on land that is not suited to the development of
                         residential buildings;
                 ii.     It is not consistent with the character of the neighbourhood;
                 iii.    It does not maximise the use of the natural topography and minimise
                         the need for cut and fill; and
                 iv.     It is not located within reasonable proximity to a variety of essential
                         services.

                                                                                 Page 18 of 24
